The New Apocalyptic Desert Eagle

DIY Sig P938 Rail & 8rd Magazine
My EDC is a Sig Sauer P938. I like the size and with the factory 7rd extended magazine it feels like a compact. However there is room for improvement. Sig Sauer has a trigger guard laser that you can buy and attach to the P238 or P938. It works for both guns. I am not […]

TFB Experiences Battlefield Vegas
After the Wednesday round of the 2016 SHOT Show, I sat down for an evening of quiet work, to finish up a few articles I had from the day’s show-trekking.

Magpul AK Furniture, a long term report
For the last few months, I have been using Magpul AK polymer furniture on my Kalashnikov rifle.

Norinco Type 81 Approved for Canadian Sale
After 4 years of inspection by the RCMP lab, they’ve determined that the Type 81 is definitely not an AK. While at first glance you might be forgiven in thinking this Chi-Com creation is a descendant of the Kalashnikov, it actually uses a short stroke piston and bolt carrier much closer to the classic SKS. […]
